  1. 1. Effects of the 2018 drought on mire productivity in Skogaryd - Evaluation of ground sensors, satellite data and meteorological data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ines Júlio Alfredo; [2021]
    Keywords : Sentinel 2; Vegetation Indices; Ground Sensors; Drought and Mire; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The drought is a complex meteorological phenomenon associated with low precipitation and low water saturation in atmosphere, soils and plants and can has a great effect on aboveground biomass and change the structure and function of the ecosystems. The droughts also are known to reduce the primary and secondary productivity of vegetation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Estimating active layer thickness at the high Arctic study site Zackenberg from remotely sensed ground subsidence

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lotte Wendt; [2021]
    Keywords : active layer thickness; DInSAR; subsidence; permafrost; Zackenberg; CALM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The active layer thickness (ALT) is an indicator of permafrost thaw, which potentially leads to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases under global warming, and thus could further amplify climate change. The thaw depth of the active layer also governs seasonal surface deformation, caused by the volume change between ice to water, which poses risks for slope stability and infrastructure foundations.

  4. 3. Galactic Dynamics and the spread of Galactic Civilisations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Markus Strickert; [2020]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Abstract The idea of the spread of life through the galaxy is, in most minds, considered science fiction. Yet, scientists argue that most galaxies have had more than enough time for civilisation development and space travel. READ MORE

  5. 4. Leaching of Glass Waste – Structure and Humidity Cell Tests

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Elin Sandgren; [2019]
    Keywords : Glass structure; glass leaching; glass modifiers; humidity cell test; saturation index; arsenic; lead.; Glasstruktur; lakning av glas; glasmodifierare; fuktkammarförsök; mättnadsindex; arsenik; bly.;

    Abstract : Glass production has historically occurred at around 50 glassworks in Sweden, in a region known as the Kingdom of Crystals (Glasriket). Today, most of these sites are no longer active and left behind is glass waste of different forms (both as fragments of finished glass as well as unrefined glass melts). READ MORE

  6. 5. Imaging the 3D distribution of cation adsorption sites in undisturbed soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Hannes Keck; [2016]
    Keywords : cation exchange capacity; X-ray scanning; soil structure; contrast agent; heterogeneity;

    Abstract : Most soil system models assume that the cation adsorption sites in soils are accessible and homogeneously distributed in space. This assumption is likely to be invalid, which may have significant consequences on the performance of these models. READ MORE
